Strong presence in the tribal areas of Pakistan , the movement had been weakened by recent operations of the Pakistani army in South Waziristan and Orakzai agency in 2009 - 2010.

History

In April 2008, the Pakistani government had reported the preparation of a peace agreement with the TTP. While it was moving towards an agreement, Baitullah Mehsud broke off negotiations and is in a state of war against the Pakistani government. From June to December 2009, the Pakistani army launched the Operation Rah-e-Nijat against movement in South Waziristan. Since March 2010, she was also engaged in an offensive in the agencies of Kurram and Orakzai , Taliban-controlled areas for two years.

The organization was headed by Baitullah Mehsud until 5 August 2009 , date of death of the latter, who was suspected of ordering the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. Since 22 August 2009 , the group is led by Mehsud Hakimullah. This is believed to have died during a U.S. drone attack in January 2010 , despite the denials of the group. The Taliban would eventually confirm, February 9 , the death of the latter .

The organization claimed the attack failed May ^1,2010 in New York. However, doubts remain about the group's ability to organize such an attack because he had never struck out of Pakistan and of Afghanistan. A senior Pakistani security services said: "It's a farce media. We know, and everyone knows their capacity for action. " On the other hand, the explosive device, which did not fire, has been described as an "amateur" .

The group also claimed responsibility for numerous attacks against the minority Shia Pakistan , not considering them as Muslim. The most violent actions claimed by the group killed 104 people, including many civilians, and targeted a jirga.

This attack caused the reaction of the villagers, they had destroyed some time later several houses belonging to the Taliban, and exchanges of fire between Taliban rebels and villagers have continued throughout the night following the attack.
